Question
Hello, how should a husband, appointed by his wife as an agent for the annulment of her vows and the delivery of the declaration on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, proceed?
Answer
Hello,
Indeed, a husband can act as an agent for the annulment of his wife's vows, but he should not specifically gather three people to annul her vows. Instead, when he gathers three to annul his own vows, he should also annul for his wife. He should not recite the formula twice but include his wife in his annulment. Before he recites the annulment formula or before they respond 'all is permitted, etc.', he should inform them that he is requesting annulment also for his wife, and the annullers should respond in the plural: 'permitted for you' etc.
